The scent of parting lingered between the mother and son. Before leaving, Xiao La Jiao still couldn't bear to take out the key to open the door. Clutching the key tightly, head bowed, a jumble of emotions filled his heart. In the moonlight, their figures seemed so close, yet suddenly became very distant. Ran Xing lowered his head, took Xiao La Jiao's luggage, filled with fragrant buns and a pot of turbid wine. It seemed like the first time Xiao La Jiao had prepared these things for himself. Taking out the wine pot, he also heard the clinking of the key. "You go, once you step out of this door, don't look back."
Xiao La Jiao turned around and placed the key on the ground.
Ran Xing froze, reached out, and wanted to comfort the emotionally restrained Xiao La Jiao.
"Mom..."
"Go, from now on, go and do what you want to do."
Xiao La Jiao pushed away Ran Xing's hand and took a few steps forward, moved further away from Ran Xing.
Picking up the keys, Ran Xing took a big sip of the wine.
The strong liquor suppressed the tears that were about to burst out. Although speaking with a slight tremor, Ran Xing sensibly took a few steps back.
"Mom, don't worry, I will do what I said, I... will come back."
After saying that, Ran Xing resolutely opened the door, and outside was silent.
"Don't look back, just go!"
After hearing this, Ran Xing took a big gulp of wine, tears already streaming down his cheeks. It was ultimately leaving home, leaving his mother and himself. There was a feeling of parting, but his feet had already stepped out the door, and turning back was as difficult as reaching the sky.
The wind began to grow restless, blowing haphazardly past Ran Xing's body at the door. His body couldn't help but shiver, feeling bone-chilling!
The door slammed shut with a bang, and only the sound of a woman leaning against the door, standing strong, and sobbing faintly could be heard...
Flipping through the ancient book, Ran Xing stepped across the boundary marker of Peach Blossom Village, paused, and looked in the direction of home, lost in thought for a moment.
"No... I can't turn back."
The voice of Xiao La Jiao still echoed in the subconscious, so crisp and resonant.
"Go do what you must do!"
Ran Xing turned around, shaking the book, and a torn page fell to the ground, seemingly left by an old man's ink.
"The auspicious Qilin grants the Mark; anyone with this Mark has a mission. It is at the Trial Grounds that one must break through the Four Aspects and Two Instruments to achieve Tai Chi. The path of Wuji begins here. With a mission at hand, taking the first step means you can never turn back; otherwise, you will descend into a chaotic land, lose your soul, and become an ordinary mortal once more..."
After finishing the last page of the book, Ran Xing turned to the back. Not bad, it was indeed a map from Peach Blossom Village to the Trial grounds. Suddenly, a leaf flew past like a flying knife, "Who's there?!"
Looking around, no one was seen.
Ran Xing confirmed that there was no one around, and continued on the road.
Behind him, there was another long-haired young man, who was following something...
The first stop of Fire at Peach Blossom Village is the Silent Forest. The white bones and the stench have added a touch of white to the once green bamboo forest, creating an odor so foul that one instinctively covers their nose with each step forward. This name was chosen because the former Peach Blossom Village suffered from an overflow of evil spirits, causing the townspeople to lose their homes. Under the protection of the remaining heroes in the Trial Grounds, the surviving residents sought refuge here, but the evil spirits pursued them relentlessly. The remaining heroes were no match for the leader of the evil spirits and ultimately met a tragic end. The innocent citizens were either possessed by the evil spirits or killed, leaving behind this stench and scattered white bones as remnants of that time.
Near the exit of this forest, there is a dilapidated wooden pavilion, riddled with holes. Four or five complete white bones lean against a broken hole, seemingly belonging to those who huddled together for shelter during that time.
At this moment, Ran Xing's left hand glowed again and unconsciously pressed against the ground.
With this press, it seemed to detect something, causing cold sweat to break out on Ran Xing's forehead: "Could this be... an evil spirit?!"
Out of instinct, Ran Xing leaped backward suddenly, and it was this leap that allowed him to dodge a clump of purple light, which had just created a three-foot long and one-foot deep hole in the ground where he had been standing.
Well done, the evil spirit slowly emerged from the corner and saw this stranger who had intruded into its resting place.
Landing on the ground and stabilizing his posture with the footwork from the book, Ran Xing couldn't help but widen his eyes: a black monster, humanoid in form but with a beastly face, was standing right in front of him!
"Evil... evil spirit"
Ran Xing steadied his trembling hands and assumed a defensive posture.
"This is the first time I've encountered something like this, and in such a desolate and uninhabited place. It seems like fate is trying to destroy me!"
"It looks like I don't need to go looking for anything, you've come to me on your own. What I can do for you is send you to the Western Heaven!"
evil spirit mocked as he threw away a body, a barely alive baby.
"You! Despicable..."
Without giving himself time for mental preparation, the Evil Spirit took the initiative to strike first, stepping forward in a circling motion, extending his fist like a green snake in motion, as a purple light instantly illuminated the bamboo forest.
Ran Xing also followed the instructions from the book, quickly bending his arm to block, then immediately turning to activate his left hand Mark to unleash a short punch, which struck the Evil Spirit's chest and sent him flying several dozen steps away.
"Kid, you've got some skills. If I'm not mistaken, you're of the Water Attribute, right?" The Evil Spirit stood up and, with a flick of his body, instantly teleported in front of Ran Xing.
"With strength like a snake and speed like a cat, it seems you've learned a thing or two. But do you really think you can defeat me with that?!" The Evil Spirit lightly tapped Ran Xing, effortlessly neutralizing his strength and casually tossing him aside.
The techniques recorded in ancient texts were Water Attribute techniques, focusing on close-range combat, strictly guarding the centerline, allowing for both offense and defense while striking directly.
Ran Xing stood up, snorted, and retorted, "With skills like yours, you're not even one ten-thousandth of what’s in the book. What are you bragging about here?"
Ran Xing Although he understood only a little, he had learned a thing or two about dealing with petty thieves in town.
evil spirit Continued to attack, this time using a quick step to rush in front of Ran Xing, but suddenly turned around and threw a punch straight at his face. Ran Xing stepped back to create distance and then took the initiative to counterattack. Ran Xing brought his hands together and used Water Attribute: Horizontal Orchid, directly engaging in a contest of strength with evil spirit.
evil spirit seemed interested and retreated, charging up with a magic seal in his left hand. He easily shattered Ran Xing's Horizontal Orchid, and amidst the dust, he received a punch from Ran Xing. Both retreated half a step.
evil spirit appeared bored, saying, "A mere kid, yet he has the Qilin Mark and knows a move or two. Not bad, but at this level, let me just take you out!"
After a contemptuous remark, the evil spirit used its luck to forcefully counter Ran Xing's Heng Lan attack, sending her flying dozens of meters away and crashing heavily into a boulder.
"Sister..." Ran Xing blacked out, clutching a doll as she fell beneath the boulder.
evil spirit immediately prepared to finish the job, but a fireball whizzed past, causing evil spirit to abruptly turn around.
"Who's there?"
However, he did not see who was disturbing his plans.
"Where are you looking? Over here!" The boy's voice was deep yet powerful, and with one move, he caught the Evil Spirit off guard.
When Ran Xing opened his eyes again, he found himself in another place. The air here was eerily silent, and he stood still, as if falling.
The sounds of battle outside could still be heard, but it seemed he had lost all strength, falling and falling. The purple ocean behind him seemed to turn into lava, yet the descent felt interminable.
Meanwhile, the boy was executing a pure Fire Attribute technique. His arms were strong and powerful; even the wind seemed to obey him. With just a punch, he could shatter the leaves that landed in his hands.
"Good, good! Fire Attribute! It seems you are the young master of the Shao Family; I wasn't wrong!" The Evil Spirit politely bowed. Receiving no response, it instantly teleported in front of the Young Master of the Shao Family, and they immediately engaged in close combat.
The Fire Attribute technique was fierce and powerful, relying on explosive potential for a lethal strike.
The Young Master of the Shao Family bent down to dodge and used a slingshot kick to send the Evil Spirit flying away, quickly moving to Ran Xing's side.
"Good kid, you're still alive."
The Young Master of the Shao Family was momentarily taken aback, then saw a purple light coming towards him. He immediately raised his left hand to reveal the Qilin Mark, summoning a wall of light that once again repelled the evil spirit.
Falling... strength... sister...
At the moment he turned around, these three terms simultaneously appeared in his mind. He opened his eyes and found himself getting closer to the ocean behind Fire, while an unfamiliar force gradually dispelled his fatigue.
The Young Master of the Shao Family and the Evil Spirit were still locked in a fierce struggle, seemingly at a stalemate. However, being a newcomer, the Young Master of the Shao Family ultimately suffered a heavy blow from the Evil Spirit. Relying on his Fire Attribute and vitality, he managed to raise a barrier that prevented him from being directly pierced by this strike, but he still knelt on the ground, coughing violently.
Just then, an energy that sent chills down the Evil Spirit's spine appeared. The Young Master of the Shao Family lifted his head, and an incredible scene unfolded...
